Spent some time working on the 1950's Advance B4A5 Signal Generator. To be honest , there's not much to recommend it apart from that beautiful black crack finish. And that's why its still on the bench.
Replaced a bunch of resistors that had drifted high , the 6X5 rectifier popped while I was working on it - Cathode to Heater short.
The electoro was completely missing the +ve lead - probably since the mid '70s!
I gutted the can and put a modern electro inside.
